About

A Master of Science or MSc is a postgraduate degree typically in the fields of sciences and social sciences. MSc may be course-based, research-based, or a mixture of the two.

A degree in human resource management offers students the foundation for managing and leading a staff at a company or organization. In this field of study, it is common for students to learn a number of skills, such as conflict management, labor relations, creating ROIs and building work teams.

Education in the United Kingdom is a devolved matter with each of the countries of the United Kingdom having separate systems under different governments: the UK Government is responsible for England, and the Scottish Government, the Welsh Government and the Northern Ireland Executive are responsible for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, respectively.
